Buying a property in Barcelona is a big decision, and it can be complicated to collect all of the facts and figures. That is why more and more people see the value of a personal real estate shopper.
Advantages for appointing a personal shopper:
According to the AEPSI (Asociación Española de Personal Shopper Inmobiliario, or Spanish Real Estate Personal Shoppers Association) a real estate personal shopper can help you “save between 5 to 20% on the starting price of a property“ and this is mainly because of negotiation skills and experience.
● It saves time: up to 70% compared to traditional viewings.
● You are less worried: satisfaction is guaranteed. A real estate personal shopper is able to identify hidden problems inside the property and can provide all necessary technical, building, financial and legal information.
● It saves money: up to 20% of the original property price. These experts always know first when new properties will come up for sale.
